Some Dog stories.

A resident of P almyra, Mo-, went fishing
on the banks of the Mississippi not long
ago, accompanied by his dog. Through
accident he fell into the river head foremost
and was drowned, the shock having stunned
him aud prevented him from swimming to
the shore, The dogs howls brought assist
ance and the body was recovered, where
upon the animal went up to its dead
master, licked his face, and then, with II
doleful whine, plunged into the river and
was not seen again.
The principal of a Newburyport h;g'r
8 hool died recently, aud it was noticed
that on the day of his death coach dog
dashed down the main street, rushed ny
the steps leading to the school houss aal
began to howl dismally. He was several
times driven away, but each time he would
return and resume his piercing wall. At
last, late in the afternoon, he disappeared
Nothing was thought of the matter until
the news of the principals death was rs-
ceiyed, and it was then learned that he ak

Little Bell Gordon, whose par ants live
few miles out of Paducah, KY, started for

Most of our young readers viii be sur
prised to hear that the well-known nursery
song Of Mary had little Lamb is true
story, and that ''Mary" is still living. About
seventy years ago she was a little girl, the
daughter of farmer in Worcester countv.
Massachusetts. She was very fond Of
going with her father to the fields to see
tue sheep, and one day they found baby
lamb which was thought to be dead. Kind
hearted little Mary, however, lifted it up
into her arms, and as it seemed to breathe
she carried it home, made it warm bed
near the stove and nursed it tenderly.
Great was her delight, when, after weeks
of careful feeding and watching, her little
patient began to grow well and strong, and
soon after it was able to run about 1t
knew its young mistress perfectly, always
came at her call and was happy only when
at her side. One day it followed her to the
village school. and not knowing what else
to do with it, she put it under her desk and
covered it with her shawl There it stayed
until Mary was called up to the teachers
uesk to say her lesson, and tlen the lamb
walked quietly after her, and the other
children burst out laughing. SO the teacher
had to shut the little girls pet in the wood
shed until school was out.
Soon after this Young student, named
John Rollstone, wrote little poem about
Mary and her lamb and presented it to her.
The lamb grew to be sheep and lived for
many years, and when at last it died, Mary
grieved so much for it that her mother took
some of its wool, which was ''as white IS
snow, and knitted pair of stockings for
her to wear in remembrance of her darling.
Some years after the lambs death Mrs.
Sarah j Hale, celebrated woman, who
wrote books, composed some verses about
Mary's lamb and added them to those writ
ten by John Rollstone, making the COM
plete poem as we know it. Mary took such
good care of the stockings made of her
lambs fleece that when she was grown-up
woman she gave one of them to church
fair in Boston. AS soon as il became known
that the stocking was made from the fleece
of tMary's little lamb" every one wanted
piece of it; so the stocking was raveled and
the yarn cut into short pieces. Each piece
was tied to card on winch Mary wrote her
full name and those cards sold so we'll that
they brought the large sum of $40 in the
Old South Church Il american Aericul-
turist.

seated herself at the instrument, opened
her music-book and discoursed sweet
melodies and thrilling fantasies, and, no

horses and set off toward the frightening
east, the youthful traveller turned his gaze
back to the quaint old inn and kept the
memory of it in his poet heart. The
name of this young man was Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow.
